Block copolymers consisting of immiscible glassy and rubbery blocks have microphase-
separated structures that result in various elastic properties depending on the polymer …

In the present study, we investigated the elasticity of block copolymers by coarse-grained
molecular dynamics simulation. We focused on two typical cubic symmetry morphologies …

To relate the mechanical responses of hard–soft copolymer systems with their
microstructures, a coarse‐grained molecular dynamics approach is employed, and …

We achieved high-throughput prediction of the stress–strain (S–S) curves of thermoplastic
elastomers by combining hierarchical simulation and deep learning. ABA triblock copolymer …

In thermoplastic elastomers, the structure formation of hard and soft domains and the
mechanical response to deformation remain vital areas of interest. To realize the coarse …

We extend our recent coarse-grained model describing semicrystalline homopolymers to
simulate the morphology and phase transitions of thermoplastic elastomers made of …

In this paper, we investigate the enhancement mechanism of the mechanical properties for
hard-soft block copolymers by using molecular dynamics simulations at various …

Multiblock copolymers (MBCs) have garnered considerable interest in both industrial and
fundamental polymer science. However, the phase structure and properties at a molecular …

Multiblock copolymers containing a large number of blocks have distinct microstructures and
mechanical responses that are different from that of conventional diblock and triblock …

Block copolymers having different strengths of segregation are investigated with respect to
their deformation behavior. Disordered block copolymers are deformed by the mechanism …
